Looking Back at Linsanity
For a short time in 2012, Jeremy Lin ruled the world. The undrafted point guard out of Harvard who had spent his career on the fringes of the NBA, was now the biggest story in sports. With Carmelo Anthony out of the lineup, Lin led the New York Knicks on a seven game win streak to rescue their season. His meteoric rise captured the hearts of NBA fans across the world, and Jeremy Lin became a household name. Today we look back on the time when "Linsanity" ruled the world.

That’s crazy and all but Russell Westbrook averaged a triple double
Decades from now, no one will remember what melo has achieved off the top. But there will still be people who remembers jeremy lin for linsanity.
As someone who is from New York, I vividly remember how hyped the Chinatown here in Queens was during Linsanity. I remember the hype surrounding both Linsanity and Tebow Mania when I was in middle school.
It’s so weird to see guards go from amazing in short spurts to just nobody’s. I feel like Cam Payne just went through this. Great during their Finals run and now he just a guy again
Cam Thomas dropping 40 in like 3 straight games gave me huge Linsanity vibes
Jeremy did what every professional bench player wishes they could: get a chance and take advantage!
Linsanity was insane.
I miss linsanity. I remember getting so excited watching another Asian guy light up the NBA. I still have a signed Knicks jersey from Lin
There are 4 major moments that derailed Lin’s career. 1: The torn meniscus at the height of Linsanity, just horrible luck. When you are still trying to prove yourself, devastating injuries just cause a team to want to move on from you. 2 and 3 are kind of hand in hand: Carmelo’s jealousy and D’Antoni leaving. Melo fundamentally isn’t a winner. He always looks out for himself and his own scoring above team success. He isn’t good enough to be selfish as fuck and win like Kobe. And D’Antoni quitting paired with Melo being jealous was the death nail for him coming back to NY. Then he goes to Houston, Mike is there, Darryl Morrey specifically tells Lon that the team will be built around him. Everything is looking great for Jeremy. 4: OKC decides to trade James Harden to Houston and all of a sudden, a better version of the same position has just landed in Houston. Sorry Jeremy, but this is James’ team now. And he never got another shot with the right coach and right team for him to succeed.
Lin to taxi driver: "Please can you drive me to Madison Square Garden I need to beat Kobe and Lakers" haha
Jeremy Lin is an underrated NBA player.
At the end of the day…
Taiwanese here. I was still in college when Linsanity happened. The entire country exploded and everybody including their grandma wanted to see Jeremy play.
Jeremy Lin will be forever remembered
He could have been a great off-the bench spark if the league used him better. He wasn't super efficient, and he turned over too much to be a primary option long term. But he's the kind of player when your first scoring option is resting and everyone is cold, you plug him in. He can create his own shot, and that's always valuable.
I love the respect given to Lin in this video. No bashing. No unnecessary dickriding like some of his fans.
That game winner he had in Toronto was iconic!! Had me tryna recreate it right after it had happened
Henry Walker was known as Billy Walker most of the time - a 2k legend.
The Heat took the whole Linsanity thing a bit personally. LeBron and Wade went out of there ways to demoralize him that night lol there's a whole video about it.
It gives great joy to my heart remembering that Jeremy Lin has a ring and Carmelo doesn't
